Q: On scopes, what do you mean by "Owners Risk" and what is the success rate of a scope making it thru the process?A: Owners risk means we are not responsible for replacing your scope if the scope fogs up, meaning that it does not make it thru the process.

The ones that usually don't make it thru the process are the less expensive types rifle scopes and red dots. We do not do any AO adjustment style scopes. All the newer style triple turret scopes make it thru the process just fine.

FACT: Any business conducting firearm coatings, engraving or exterior alterations to receiver "MUST" have FFL 01, 03,or 07 classification. Any business conducting this type of service without an FFL is illegal. ATF Rut. 2009-1 U.S. Department of Justice Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and ExplosivesAny person who is engaged in the business of camouflaging or engraving firearms as described in this ruling must be licensed as a dealer, which includes a gunsmith, under the Gun Control Act. Performing a cosmetic process or activity, such as camouflaging, that primarily adds to or changes the appearance or decoration of a firearm is not manufacturing. Unlike manufacturing processes that primarily enhance a firearm's durability, camouflaging is primarily cosmetic. Likewise, external engravings are cosmetic in nature and primarily affect only the appearance of a firearm. Held, any person who engages in an activity or process that primarily adds to or changes a firearm's appearance by camouflaging the firearm by painting, dipping, or applying tape does not need to be licensed as a manufacturer under the Gun Control Act.
